Francesca Salvatori is a Part-Time Lecturer in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at Durham University, where she is pursuing a PhD funded by the AHRC-Northern Bridge Consortium. She holds a BA (2018) and MA (2020) in Classics from Sapienza University of Rome. Her doctoral research focuses on Ovid’s Ibis, analyzing its status as Roman elegy through a linguistic pragmatic approach.
Her research explores the interplay between aggressive content and elegiac form in Ovid’s work, with particular attention to the poem’s relationship with Greek models, political context, and autobiographical elements. She has presented at conferences such as the 3° Ciclo de Seminários Sobre Poesia Latina (2024), Classicamente - Dialoghi Senesi (2023), and L’otium è rivelatore (2022).
Key publications include analyses of Ovid’s use of otium in exilic poetry, communication pragmatics in the Tristia, and collaborative work on Augustan literary culture. Her interests span Latin elegiac poetry, classical reception studies, and the intersection of ancient literature with modern scholarship.
